A million times this. X-COM is amazing.dekkarax said:
Also obvious ones like DOOM, Duke Nukem 3D, etc.
Might and Magic The World of Xeen (i think that's 4+5?)
The old Sierra games from the '80s & '90s (King's Quest, Space Quest, and especially Quest for Glory)
Return to Zork if you can get it
My particular favorite Rogue-flavor game was Omega, but that doesn't require DosBox.
Oh, and definitely Legend of Kyrandia I + II

Man, a lot of these games take me back... I remember my dad playing system shock. He has this problem with fps type games. They make him vomit, but he forced himself to play that game to the end because it was that good. It is the inspiration for my playing system shock 2. Bugger...that game I just...god damn monkeys, I never thought anything could be scarier than that, and then I met the cyberassassins...
There was a game called Enemies From Space that I played non-stop about six years ago. It was like Space Invaders, but there were bosses, there was no sound at all (unless I didn't configure something right the last time I emulated it), and your ship's two weapons could be individually changed based on powerups that you collected from shot down enemies.
I still have it sitting on a shelf somewhere, and I have to go through all that crap of reconfiguring DOSBox to play it.
I also recommend and game made by Sierra that has the word "Quest" in it.
They were very small, the first one being 825KB, and they ran off of executable files.
If I still had the link, I'd post it, but it shouldn't be too hard to find seeing as I just found it by luck on a Google Search.

There was a website dedicated to The Incredible Machine where I found a download for all three TIM games, but I can't for the life of me remember the link.Brotherofwill said:

All the ones I would've recommended have already been mentioned.
Oh just a heads up, but 'Sandiego', as in Carmen Sandiego, is one word.Tasachan said:

Where in the World is Carmen San Diego, Cross Country Canada were on the computers in my elementary school, that brings me back. Like the time when my entire class spent the 40 minute period waiting for Yahoo! to load. It never did. I think the whole school ran off one dialup connection or something...Tasachan said:
